They have advertised some things that will be in the game; Viera-as-currently-shown are one of them. We will get the Viera shown in the press pictures, and thanks to character customisation we will certainly get Viera designs that are not shown in the press pictures.

If they revealed male Viera and then only later said they were unplayable, that might be a different issue. But right now, for whatever reason, they have very deliberately said nothing about them. Therefore they have not actually promised anything, even if you might assume otherwise.
Which is what my post is about it's not a legal issue it's a personal one i just don't like how they have advertised Viera.

They do not have to show/advertise everything but what they do advertise has to be delivered unless stated it is not possible with the advertisement ie 'Not in game footage', the only instance i have seen SE actually mislead on advertisement for ffxiv has been the 3.1 trailer where they show mechanics of dungeon bosses that never happen in game everything else has been fine by legal standpoint maybe 4.1 trailer using eureka music
